This Happened to a Friend of Mine

By Anonymous Coward Posted Thursday 13th September 2007 19:42 GMT

His domain was stolen by a Russian.

He was able to get it back, but it took a while, and I don't think the thief was penalized at all.

How?

How can people Steal your domains ?

is it because it was due for renew and jay didn't renew it in time ?

oh well a quick who is and you have the Domain Squatters email address, might be worth emailing him telling him to give it, after 1000's of emails filling up his inbox he might change his mind and give it back ;)

Mykhailo Perebiynis is ukrainian last name for sure.

A telling name, perchance?

I suspect the Reg capitalised the name incorrectly. It should be "MYkhailo PErebiyNIS". 'Nuff said.

No it won't. He'll sign them with the other key of the pair - the private one
